Book Information
You’ve only just met.
But she already knows you so well.
When Rachel moves into the spare room in Mary’s flat, everyone is quick to jump to the conclusion that there’s something strange about her. Everyone apart from Mary.
And when Rachel starts sleepwalking, everyone’s fears grow. But there’s something about the new girl that Mary can’t help but trust, and having recently escaped a toxic relationship, she needs the support.
Rachel becomes a friend and an ally, and Mary soon discovers that they have more in common than she ever could have imagined.
In fact, Rachel seems to know more about Mary than she knows about herself…

My Review
3☆ Friendships and Trust
The New Girl is a thriller that makes you think about trusting new people and inviting them into your home.
Mary and Cat share a house together but they decide they need to get another lodger to help pay the rent.
In walks Rachel. She seems to be the perfect housemate. But Cat just feels that something isn't quiet right about her.
But is it just jealousy as Mary is her best friend and the saying goes.... two's company Threes a crowd! Or is it something more?
I had mixed feelings with this book.
At times I felt the plot was a little confusing and disjointed as the story jumped about a fair bit. There was plenty of twists.
The characters wasn't particularly likeable but I think that was the point you wasn't meant to.
There are some sensitive subjects which some readers may find difficult such as relationship abuse and mental health.
Overal The New Girl is a good read with good dose of twists. It just wasn't my usual suspenseful gritty dark thriller/mystery I usually read.

Guest Post
Switching genres in writing
It’s actually only been in recent years that I’ve started writing thrillers, but now I wonder now how I ever wrote anything else. Reading my earlier work (YA, primarily) is like looking back at another version of myself. I can still see the value in it, but I can’t connect with it in the same way any more. I suppose we go through phases in life and in writing, and it’s important – for me, at least – to write what inspires me at a particular time, and often that’s something I’ve witnessed or experienced or am working through emotionally. Sometimes I’m working on more than one piece of work and I oscillate between them depending on which story is ‘speaking to me’. Of course that doesn’t work when you have a deadline! But it’s usually how a piece of work begins – something strikes me and I have to get the bones of the story down, and if I lose interest, another idea or work in progress will inevitably pull me back to it. Sometimes they never get finished – I think I have about six or seven unfinished novels and rough plot outlines sitting in a file somewhere!
Before I tried my hand at thrillers, my TBR pile consisted of mainly coming of age, romantic YA novels – at the time I preferred to dabble primarily in ‘happier’ literature – both in my choice of reading material and in what I chose to write. But I’ve always had a fascination for the darker side of humanity and that has invariably found a way of coming through in even the most light-hearted stories. A preoccupation with human behaviour and psychology, an old-fashioned love of a good cosy mystery, and that voyeuristic fascination with ‘I wonder what really goes on behind closed doors’ pulled me firmly in to the embrace of the thriller. It just made sense that, as I grew in to myself and felt brave enough, I began to explore darker side of human nature in my writing. THE NEW GIRL, in particular, is a story I just needed to tell. And at this next stage in my life as a new mother, my current work in progress has become just as important to me.
